Birth details
Your name, date of birth, time of birth and birth place (stored as latitude, longitude and timezone). This is the most sensitive data we hold. Every chart, Panchang timing, matching score and report is calculated from it — without it the service cannot function.
Account
Your email address and display name, received from the service you sign in with: Google on the website, in the web app and in the apps, or Apple if you choose Sign in with Apple in the iPhone app. Apple sends your name and an address — your own, or a private relay address that forwards to it — only the first time you sign in, and sometimes no address at all, in which case the account has none. We keep the account identifier Google or Apple gives us and, for Sign in with Apple, the token Apple issues, which we use only to end the app’s access to your Apple ID when you delete your account. We never see or store your Google or Apple password. Each time you sign in, the session also records the browser or device and the network (IP) address it was opened from.
Family members
If you add people to your account — a spouse, a parent, a child, a friend — we keep each one’s name, date, time and place of birth, gender if you give it, the relation you chose and how sure you are of the birth time, so that their charts can be calculated. A child’s details are described under Children.
Conversations and saved work
Messages you send to the AI assistant and its answers, with the birth details of each chart you ask it about; questionnaire answers; goals; and the reports you generate.
AI memory
To answer you in context, the AI assistant keeps short notes about you: facts you mention in chat, summaries of past conversations, and the life events and answers you give in “Train your chart”. They are kept separately for each family member on your account, so one person’s facts never appear in another’s answers. Memory is on by default. You can see, pin and delete every note on the “What Swarn remembers” screen, and switch memory off on that same screen (“Let Swarn remember”, also in Settings › Privacy): the assistant then stops saving and stops using notes, and removes the ones that came from “Train your chart”. Deleting your account deletes all of them. So that the assistant can find a note by what it means rather than by its exact words, each note is turned into a list of numbers by a language model that runs on our own server; the note is not sent anywhere to do it. Separately, a switch on that screen lets redacted conversations help improve the AI; you can turn it off at any time.
Vastu captures
If you use Astro Vastu: compass and magnetometer readings, the floor outline or plan you draw, and the details of a property you save — its name, the owner’s name and birth details if you give them, and its location. A photograph you take stays on your device; we keep only a reference to it.
Purchases and coins
What you buy — coins, report credits, Premium plans and passes, Remove Ads — with the record of each order and payment, and your coin balance. Card and UPI details are handled entirely by the payment provider or the app store — they never reach our servers.
Device and usage
A device identifier, app version, pages and screens used, and notification tokens if you enable notifications. Used to keep the service working and to understand which features are used.
Anonymous daily counts
A few totals, counted per day in our own database whatever you answer about analytics, including when you have said no or your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. On the website: pages viewed, by kind of page and language, and how often a calculator answered, a matching form was started or turned back, a report or its checkout was opened, a checkout failed, an app link or a button on the chat’s limit was tapped, or a free-chat question was asked. Each is filed under the analytics choice in force on that page (on by default, yes, no, Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track, or not yet answered where we ask first), which tells us how many visitors our analytics cannot see without telling us who they are. In the web app: openings and the screens and tools used, each onboarding step reached and finished, yes or no to “Help us improve the app?”, and charts made, matching steps, reports opened, checkouts started and questions asked. On our server: accounts created, sign-ins, notification subscriptions, orders placed and paid (by product, and whether the buyer had declined analytics), charts saved, chat answers and reports generated. Each is only a number for a day: no account, device identifier, IP address or cookie is stored with it, nor any page address, so it cannot be traced back to you. To keep out floods, the server limits each connection using a scrambled code made from the connection’s address and the date, held in memory for a minute and never stored. These counts are never sent to Google or to anyone else.
Your life events
If you add them under “Train your chart”: dated events from your life — a new job, a wedding, a move, an illness — with how precisely and how surely you know each date, and an optional note. They are kept separately for each family member on your account, are shown only to your account, and are deleted with the event, the family member or the account. One kind of event is a date about a child; the Children section below says how that one is handled.
Mood log
If you use the mood log, we store how you rated the moment (1–5), the time and timezone, and the optional tag and note you chose to add. A note is free text, so it holds whatever you write — please treat it as you would any private diary. Mood data is never sent to any analytics service, advertiser or AI provider. It stays on our servers, is shown only back to you, and is deleted with your account.
Practice log
If you track your remedies, which ones you kept on which days, for the chart they belong to — against your account, or against this device if you are not signed in.
Cohort comparison
Off unless you switch it on, and off again the moment you switch it off. When it is on, your mood ratings contribute to anonymous aggregates — averages across a chart factor such as a weekday or a lunar day — used to show how a group compares. Aggregates are only shown at all when enough people are in them, so no single person can be identified from one. Your notes and tags are never part of a cohort.
iPhone waitlist
If you ask to be told when the iPhone app is released, we store the email address you gave and the page you gave it on. It is used for one message — that the app is out — and for nothing else: no newsletter, no other email, no advertising, and it is not shared. Ask us at lapaasindia@gmail.com and we delete it. You do not need an account to join the waitlist and joining it does not create one.
Consultation requests
If you ask for a consultation with an astrologer, we store the name, email address and phone number you give, the time, topic, language and note you ask for, and a short summary of your birth details — with your account if you are signed in. Only our team sees it, to arrange that consultation.
Wellbeing signal
If several of your most recent mood entries are all at the lowest rating, the app offers you a short list of free helplines. That is the whole mechanism: a count of your own recent entries, worked out on our servers, shown only to you. It is not a diagnosis, nothing is inferred about your health, no record of it is kept beyond the mood entries themselves, and it is never sent to Google, to an advertiser, to our AI provider, or to anyone else. It is never used to target anything at you.
